The multi award winning Peruvian-Austrian tenor Juan Diego Flórez is firmly established at the top of his field. He has now founded his own label under the name Florez Records. The first album is dedicated to the zarzuela genre. It is also the tenor's first recording with Sinfonía por el Perú Youth Orchestra and Choir, an organisation that forms part of the social project he founded and supports, Sinfonía por el Perú. This first recording is led by conductor Guillermo García Calvo, who looks back on a long international career and has been Music Director of the Teatro de la Zarzuela between 2020 and 2024.
World-premiere recordings of orchestral songs by Hans Sommer, sung by an excellent quartet of soloists – Mojca Erdmann, Anke Vondung, Mauro Peter and Benjamin Appl – together with the Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin under the baton of Guillermo García Calvo.
"The Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin, conducted by Guillermo García Calvo, also allows the richness of color and the variability of the music to shine through with largely sensitive access, helping the singers to unfold their artistry" (Pizzicato)
Opera by Ramóm Carnicer
Orquesta y Coro Nacionales de España
"García Calvo conducts with a sense of taste and measure, with a very Rossinian phrasing, a choir and an orchestra that know how to bend to a transparent sound." (Scherzo)
